Summer Picnic - by Clare Greenwood and katie Meredith

30 June 2009

In three words: a huge success.

The perfect weather added to the general, cheerful atmosphere of the Parents Association Summer picnic this year, as many girls, parents, staff and friends turned up to spend the afternoon at Beverley Crescent.

There were fun and games for the more athletic individuals, including a bouncy castle, a gladiators game and small stalls, not to mention the sports events and the ever popular stocks, which offered a chance to cool down.

For those who wanted a touch of Wimbledon, a tent sold strawberries and cream, Pimms and cream teas.

In a new venture, the charity committee was represented, bringing a stall in aid of Breakthrough cancer. Wristbands and stickers were exchanged for donations, and in excess of £90 was raised. There were also information booklets and informative posters available.

GCSE Results

Girls have once again achieved some truly excellent results in their GCSE examinations this summer. 29% of all results were at A* grade, 57% A*-A and 80% A*-B.

 Carla Barberio, Rebecca Murray, Hannah Short and Surina Taneja all achieved 10A* grades, Tessa Forbes and Chloe Scott 9A* grades, Connie Fan, Yasmin Jamil and Frances Whittaker-Wood 8A* and Emily Myrtle, Lauren Roberts and Georgia Austin Greenall 7 A* grades.

Eighteen girls were sitting their examinations having spent, in most cases, only 3 years studying in English, and yet between them they amassed results which closely mirrored the overall percentages: 21% A*, 54% A*-A and 76% A*-B.

Although I am sad that our boarders are unable to progress to Bedford Girls' School for their Sixth Form studies, I am delighted that most of our very top achievers will be going on to take A level or IB courses there.

I wish every girl who left Bedford High School at the end of Upper 5 the very best of luck for their future studies.
